Ideal for corporate PCs and notebooks, the SanDisk X300s SED1 (Self-Encrypting Drive) is built on industry-leading 1Ynm multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash technology and incorporates hardware-based full disk encryption and advanced power management.

The X300s features support for the TCG Opal 2.0 and Windows® 8 eDrive security standards and a SATA DEVSLP low-power mode that is compatible with Microsoft® InstantGo. Users will appreciate greater productivity with more useable hours per battery charge2 while companies can seamlessly secure their data for their on-the-go employees.

Thermal ThrottlingA performance throttling technique is used as a safety measure to protect the integrity of the data and prevent excessive heat dissipation. The X300s employs an on-board thermal sensor to monitor the SSD’s critical component temperature. If it exceeds the normal range, drive performance is reduced until the temperature decreases to an acceptable level, at which time full performance is restored.
